Logging into WoT provides a link on the patcher to an online article about their new tower defense tanks vs zombies game. And e-mails are going out about the new underwater battle mode.
I saw that movie and enjoyed much more the anime reboot. Sigh!
If Germans are in the game we need the Regia Marina too. Much better ships than their German counterpads, pity about the quality of the flag officers tho.

so I downloaded the game, or managed to without specifically getting an invite code. How did that work? I've checked all my accounts as far as I know, and can't find anywhere where I might have gotten an invite.

Also, Wargamings april fools joke was pretty funny.
I dont see whats funny or even 'joke-y' about this. Its a good idea... great idea, just keep it separate from the existing 10 tiers (which is what they alluded to in the video).
Also, sidenote, need to watch the live action Space Battleship Yamato. Didnt know they made it into a film.

It's been suggested many times as a T XI-XV.
It's typical WG trolling about 'We know you want it, but it's our game, go feth yourselves.'
It's same with the massive dumbing down that WoWS has had since 0.1.7 back when water depth was relevant and your ship lost buoyancy when torpedoed rather than a buttload of HP. The new devs (the old ones having been fired due to being nationalist Ukrainian [no, really]) are in Belarus, and have decreed a Russian line, to properly depict the glory of the Soviet Union's paper projects during WW2. This will be added before any actual warships from WW2, other than the already announced ones.
Warspite and Bismark will be added as Premiums in the mean time to try and appease people pissed about this

They went through the trouble of making the 3d assets for the stuff, I have trouble seeing them not implementing them at some point... thats certainly a lot of work theyve done for "a joke".
Re: buoyancy, does that mean that once upon a time it was possible to sink ships without removing their HP?

Yes. And if you were sinking, you could drive your ship into the shallows and beach it.

Well that sounds all sorts of awesome. What I've seen of the game still looks good, better than WoT or WoWP, but that would have been superb.
Therefore, I conclude, Valve should announce Half Life 2: Episode 3.
Yes, I'm playing with Space Battleship Yamato. AND IT'S fething AWESOME.

Preorders packages are now available. Note that preordering does NOT get you into Beta.
this has proven somewhat alarming to testers. Not the not getting in part, but the fact the game isn't quite ready yet. There are still a lot of serious issues.

There are? I had no idea. I've been having a blast of fun and never noticed anything too major. But then again, I only hit tier VII - Nagato - so I have no idea how balanced the end-game is.

Yeah, Jingles is a wealth of knowledge. He even did a short video to help people decide:
Myself, I'm very tempted to get the Sims. Such a fast ship seems awesome to have some fun once a while since I'm always playing Battleships
OH JINGLES

You haven't noticed things like running aground on invisible objects, aircraft sitting on the surface of the water shooting at you, or the recent return of glass turrets, a bug that was fixed three updates ago, but has mysteriously risen again?

1 - No
2 - No
3 - I did think my turrets were getting screwed up more than they usually were, but I thought it was because I was mostly fighting against tiers VII - X. And those pack the hell of a punch.

Same. I said multiple times as I've played with a friend, that this game is god-damn good and I didn't feel I was playing a closed beta.
Hell, to me the game was ready, except it's missing some ships. It's that damn good.

Fantastic? Well as much as I want to spew my unfilterd opinions on this "masterpice" and your opinion of it I will refrain from it. The game has the same appel as world of warplanes aka NONE! Its a brainless and utterly dull game, with no need for creative thinking or any regards to teamwork. But as we all live in democratic nations I suppose that one can have various opinions on the matter

Right, I'll work of the assumption that you haven't actually played it then. If you think this game doesn't need teamwork you must be a horrible team mate to have.
Veiled insults are still insults btw.
